However, the presence of bony structures such as ribs and clavicles can obscure subtle abnormalities, resulting in diagnostic errors.

We observe that our augmented training strategy helped the CXR modality-specific U-Net models achieve superior performance with test data derived from the TBX11K CXR training distribution as well as from cross-institutional collections (p < 0. 05).
